I love plumbing. I also love sumps, but I've always found it odd when non fish folks see my setups and wonder why there aren't any fish in the tank on the bottom......so much wasted space it seems........
So.................time for something a little different.
Main display is a 135 acrylic and the sump is a 75 gallon glass. Both tanks have Designs by Nature ( thanks Jeff!) Bulu point 3d. Top is lit by a Current 48-60" satellite and a 44" Flex led. Bottom has a Marineland double bright and 2 21" hidden LEDs. Pump is a Reef Octopus Diablo 5500 dc and the overflow will be a Reef Savvy Ghost( Beananimal style with magnetic weir). All plumbing is exposed, so other than black fittings it's all clear sch. 80 excelon and valves. Stand is the standard diy design except for the top frame being doubled and and extra set of legs to frame the sump.
The idea is to use the sump as a full planted display with micro fish. I always end up with fish in the sump anyways, so I figured I'd make it comfortable for them lol.
135 stock is 15 Puntius Denisonii, 4 L75's, L204 and my 7 year old rainbow shark. 75 will house some black skirt tetras, and hopefully a small school of
Danio margaritatus and a school of
Pseudomugil furcatus. Maybe some cories somewhere ...Plants still tbd at this point.
Returns are plumbed but no pics uploaded yet. Tank will flow side to side river style. Return on the left, drain on the right. Still waiting for the Ghost to arrive to finish. A few cell phone pics to start with lots more to come tomorrow.
